Abstract(in English) Recently, Bittorrent Inc. has released a file synchronization software called Bittorrent Sync based on the peer-to-peer file sharing software Bittorrent. Using this software, users can synchronize the files on the designated folders across the multiple devices that are connected through the Internet without using a management server. These devices can be personal computers, smart phones, and tablets using different operating systems. To identify the folders to be synchronized, this software uses a 20-byte secret key that is randomly generated. We have considered the use of Bittorrent Sync to share files among nodes in a large wireless local area network (WLAN), where some nodes may be connected through mulithop wireless links. In this paper, we set up a simple WLAN test bed using the IEEE 802.1 lac protocol that has been recently introduced as a high-speed wireless communication protocol, and measure throughputs when various files with different sizes are synchronized among nodes using the software. Our results show that the throughput is quite high and stable, and a larger file can be transferred in a higher speed than a smaller file.
